Look To the Days Ahead

Standing in the shadows 
of a year that’s all but past,
for better or for worse,
it’s days flew by too fast.

Standing at the threshold 
of a year that’s yet to come,
looking to the better,
these days will be great for some.

What is gone, is now gone.
It can never come again.
So look to the days ahead
and enjoy them with Your Friend.
